For home healthcare clinicians, administrative tasks like producing and printing patient information can be tedious and can distract from the most important focus – the patient. Printing at the point of care could save valuable time and resources as well as improve the patient experience. Clinicians would no longer have to travel back to the office to print documents and the patient would have immediate access to important documents including medication lists, drug interaction forms, plans of care, and more.

As a clinician, mobile printing may make perfect sense to you, but maybe your company’s decision-makers need further convincing. Below are four tips to help you make your case.

What business objectives are important to the decision-makers within your organization? Is it time? Profit? Company culture? Before presenting any new idea, understand your manager’s priorities and align your proposal accordingly.

Know what you’re going to say before you approach your manager with an idea. Be ready to support your case with thoughtfully prepared answers to any questions your manager may have.

Show both sides. Acknowledging that there are both pros and cons to adopting new technology demonstrates that you have realistic expectations and instills trust in your judgment.

Help decision-makers visualize the impact of your idea with a simple side-by-side comparison of what your organization looks like now versus how it will look after your idea is implemented. Wherever possible, quantify your time and cost savings with actual numbers.
